Mrs Mills solves all your problems

I put sticky tape on my ring when I am at work. I am a finance director, and my ring could get caught on a filing cabinet and hurt me, or catch an important document and tear it. Having watched Euro 2004, I now wonder what to do with my earring. Do I stop wearing it while at work (like Beckham) or put sticky tape on it (in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo)?

My first thought was: why can’t you make do with kaolin and morphine like everyone else? Then I realised what you were on about. You are overreacting. The removal or protective covering of jewellery is only necessary for those taking part in contact sports and, although I imagine the world of accountancy may well be different in Liverpool to the rest of the country, it still doesn’t regularly involve physical contact.
